You need to be more specific about your data structure, ie. post an
example.

It sounds to me like you have a list of observations?
Where each observation is a {color, size} pair?

vColor = {red, blue, green};
vSize = {small, medium, large};
mObs = Transpose[RandomChoice[#, 100] & /@ {vColor, vSize}];

In[118]:= mObs // Tally

Out[118]= {{{blue, large}, 14}, {{green, small}, 15}, {{blue, medium},
   13}, {{red, medium}, 7}, {{blue, small}, 9}, {{red, large},
  12}, {{green, large}, 11}, {{green, medium}, 9}, {{red, small}, 10}}
